Meet Our Team

Regina Thomas, lovingly referred to as "Mutti", the German word for Mother, or "Oma", the German word for Grandmother. With a genuine love for all, she really welcomes you as one of the family and becomes a friend, mother, and grandmother to all who need it. She is a German citizen and met her American husband in Jerusalem while both involved in Christian ministries. She is the mother of three amazing men, the youngest of which is Pastor Jeremiah. All her sons are happily married and have now made Regina the grandmother to 9 grandkids. With all that, she somehow still has more love and energy to go around. A native to Germany, she has been our official German teacher from the start. You will always be greeted with a smile and most likely a delicious dish of food. If you ever get a chance, be sure to try her pies!

Edita was born in Bosnia and spent her early childhood in southern Germany, before moving to Rochester in 1999. She graduated from SUNY Brockport with a degree in Business Administration and Management. She met her husband during her time there. Once married, they settled in Hilton for a few years while growing a business and starting a family. When they found out they were expecting their third little blessing, they moved to Spencerport, and Edita started homeschooling. Today, she is a homeschooling mom to four amazing kids and finds joy in day-to-day life at home. She absolutely adores children of all ages, loves to learn new things, and loves cooking and baking. In her limited free time, she loves to read, embroider, and start new house projects. She is so excited to be teaching at The Gospel Collaborative!
